The Frankfort roundabout. [volume] (Frankfort, Ky.) 1882-1908, 1887-07-02

the best guarded proposition he
ever knew or heard of. He was
convinced the whole county would
be benefited but he did not have
the nerve to face the music" on
account Of few neighbors. !
asked him if Frankfort was not his
neighbor, and did not every dollar
he made or got come. directly
or indirectly. through Frankfort
He said it was fact, but yet he
could not "stem the current" OF
"home pressure. Another man
from the same place, same precinct,
said he never went to Frankfort
except when compelled; never
bought anything there if he could
help it; that the clothes he had on
he bought in Louisville. He gets
Frankfort's money for his produce,
then goes elsewhere to purchase
what he may want. II was not so
much in doing it as the manner in
which he told it. 1t showed that
he has always entertained a feeling
against the place. How any man
can let such words pass his lips, l
fail to see. Another thing l fail
to see, is how any man can stand
up against his neighbors, right
here in our midst, and tell people
from the country IF this tax is
voted that, to get the money vot-
ed, they will throw little dirt up,
put a few ties and the rails on, and
run a hand Car to Georgetown. and
this will be the end Of it." How
a man can SANDER, for it is nothing
else, those who are engaged in this
enterprise, and then ever have the
cheek to look these men in the
face, is a mystery to me when
he or they know they are uttering
it to deceive the man they are tell
ing it to. to gain his opposition
against the tax. Those parties
need not think they are doing this
and those favoring the tax not
finding it out. They all know, as
have said, have deceived no
one; and, so far as l have OBJ
no one favoring the tax
has done so; but, on the other
hand, those opposed are trying to
prejudice all they can by every
imaginable thing they can think
Of.
Friends of Franklin county,
why will you listen to such stuff?
Do you believe the citizens Of
Frankfort, with Judge VIM. Lind
Jay at their head, will get up
or propositions and
present them to the franklin
county court, and have the same
out on record, to build road to
Georgetown, Paris, Owingsville,
md on to the mountains Of Ken

n Virginia, for the purpose of
the people of Franklin
and the citizens of Frank

lot be the boldest manuever ever

Why any one will allow the thing
O be told to them. Above all, |

Frankfort could ever get down SO

Trade Of the city Of Frankfort,
Who put these directors in the
places they now fill, for no earthly
